• Help your favorite charity and get a tax deduction when you buy Vista-Audio! (CLOSED)

  In these difficult times many charities struggle to fund their activities. We are happy to announce a modest action as a token of our appreciation for people and organizations dedicated to supporting great causes. When you order a Vista-Audio amplifier between October 28 and December 14, 2008, should you decide to participate, a part of your purchase price will be committed to a charity of your choice. In order to do this, we ask you that you pay by sending us two checks (you can still make a single payment, in which case we will donate equivalent amount to the charity that we feel strongly about). Also, you will need to send us mailing address for the charity you want to contribute to (so that we can forward your check).

   

  • If you are buying model i84 integrated amplifier ($760 including shipping):

                CHECK #1: $100, payable to the charity of your choice

                CHECK #2: $660, payable to ENG Vista, Inc. ($630 for the amplifier and $30 flat shipping within Continental US).

• If you are buying model i34 integrated amplifier ($1,020 including shipping):

                CHECK #1: $150, payable to the charity of your choice

                CHECK #2: $870, payable to ENG Vista, Inc. ($830 for the amplifier and $40 flat shipping within Continental US).

• Mail Your checks to:

ENG Vista, Inc.

77-21 86th St

Glendale, NY 11385

• Upon receiving your payment we will forward your CHECK #1 to the charity that you designated (that's why we need the mailing address of the charity).

• If your charity is recognized by IRS, you may be entitled to subtract the full amount of your contribution (CHECK #1) from you 2008 Income Taxes (please consult your tax advisor for eligibility).

• NOTES:

  • Standard return policy and 2-year warranty applies

  • Should refund be required, we will refund up to the amount of your CHECK #2, reduced by actual shipping charges. Sorry, but we cannot refund the charitable contribution.

  • If you send a single check or pay via PayPal, we will send the charitable contribution to www.serbiankids.com, a foundation helping displaced kids in Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Kosovo, where 100% of contribution goes toward helping children (all administrative expenses are carried by volunteers running the organization).

  • This action will be open until December 15, 2008, giving us enough time to mail your charitable contribution so you can get tax deduction for 2008.

  • We have adequate quantity of amplifiers in stock, but the offer is open even if we run out of readily available units! We will let you know if the amplifiers are in stock, if not and you still decide to purchase, we will still send your check to the charity and build your amplifier in 6-8 weeks after receiving the order.

  • Offer is available only to US customers.

January 2008:

• model i84 wins The 4th Annual Positive Feedback Online's Writers' Choice Awards - for 2007 (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue34/awards.htm)

"This is just a standard push pull 12AX7-el84 amplifier done right. Its value, build, and sheer sonic balance across the spectrum won me over. For $740, it represents a staggering value. I really liked what it did with single driver speakers I used it with." - Akhilesh Bajaj, Positive Feedback Online

• model i84 amplifier voted an "Extreme value in the affordable tube-amp category" in January 2008 issue of Affordable Audio magazine (www.affordableaudio.org)

"This small and unassuming integrated amplifier blew down my perceptions of what was possible from an affordable valve component. Not only is the i84 deliciously engaging, it also offers a sense of balance, tone and detail that I've never encountered before from a tube amp anywhere near its price"- Sean Fowler, Affordable Audio

December 2007:

• Vista-Audio is moving exclusively to the direct sales model. As a result, we are able to reduce the price of the model i34 amplifier to only $980.00!
